New intro from Austin, Texas

[Brandon Mitchell]

I've been using this site as my real estate google for a little over a year since the idea of real estate investing popped in my head but haven't participated in the discussions too much. I recently came across an out of state lead where I didn't know anyone and it reminded me I need to network more!

I've worked in light construction/painting etc., mortgages for a brief stint, flirted with the idea of rehabbing and had my license at one point but went into the music biz instead. I moved to austin about 2.5 years ago, got into multi-family leasing/management and eventually project management. The PM job re-ignited my rehabbing inspirations and I've always had the entrepreneurial bug so REI seemed a perfect fit for me.

Right now I am focusing on knocking out a few wholesale deals before rehabbing and first and foremost CLOSING MY FIRST DEAL. I am working the foreclosure list in particular. I put project management on hold for a few months to see what I can do on my own while working a part time sales job to pay the bills. This has given me a ton of time to do the time consuming, less expensive stuff like door-knocking, bandit signs and cold calling that is awesome for educational purposes. 

Looking to network with fellow investors in Austin looking to buy, out of state/virtual wholesalers who would be interested in some JV deals and also just some like-minded individuals in Austin.
